One of the main concerns is the front end is loose. I know that the struts are gone(I think they are original). But what else might be the problem? Maybe lower control arm?

If you need any of those parts PM me and I will sell cheap. Not sure if it is, but probably OK to have extras

It drives fine but feels loose. I haven't had it on the highway, but will before I buy it.

Any ideas what might need to be replaced???

Might be something as simple as tightning down some stuff in the steering box.

Could just be in need of a gearbox adjustment. See the FAQ and there is a thread about how to do it. I think it links you to another site but I don't remeber. Hope this helps.

The first thing I'd look at would be the idler arm bushings.
